line leader began in 2014 as the personal project of guitarist and vocalist Sean Clark. Over the years, the band has simmered in Philly’s underground, with demos, splits, and singles marking the group’s trajectory. In that time their lineup has morphed into a fully formed sextet that mixes all the best elements of acid-y psych pop, and gritty garage rock. With Branden Bauer and Adam Mikhail trading off on guitar and drums, the guitar work of Yahn Wylie, and Anthony Massucci’s bass, line leader's sound is hard-hitting and well rounded. Their first studio LP, WILT, was released in September 2017 and is a fast, uncompromising torrent of sheer power. Guitars scream and bend, drums pummel and crash, and the echo of a voice tells you what to make of it all.
